I have a great deal of confidence in the Avast home AV.
In my opinion, this form of advisory is a departure from the way Alwil have been marketing the Pro version. Maybe it's been deemed necessary, to try and get more customers, I don't know.
But I don't like it much.
Makes it a little bit more like the others.
I agree.
I purchased the Professional upgrade in February when there was a promotion offered for my XP Pro system and it works fine.
The licence is for a single system I believe.
The Professional Edition does not work on Vista as Script blocker does not work there.
I do not want to purchase a licence for my XP Home system as I want to sell it.
Advertising is OK but to advertise
limited protection in the Home version is scare tactics and has lowered my opinion of avast! marketing.
Its better than Avira Free's Full Page ad though.
